Beautiful Oriental Cuckoo & stranded Turtle.

Still at the Botanical Gardens, this beautiful Cuckoo alighted in the tree near us. Then we found this fretful Turtle in the middle of the Amphitheatre dry & stuck, so we rescued him. Our good deed for the day!

Lovely images, and I love the random act of kindness to one of our creatures :-)

@pennystot Isn't it great to share our "backyard" we can always learn. @hermann @ceilidh @dide @drsridhar @ziggy77 @lealady @deu49097 thank you for comments, turtles here have very long necks & we couldn't leave him stranded. @overalvandaan we didn't hear him, we are told they don't call here as much as 'home.'

lovely shots, so glad that you rescued the turtle
